Editorial

Government expect that in their own interest and in the interest of the Faculty the Kavirajes will renew their registration on payment of the prescribed fee within the extended period.

STRAMONIUM

Stramonium acts like other plants of the Solanum family in producing cerebral excitation, particularly delirium, which here assumes a peculiar form.
